Yale Strom is one of the world’s leading ethnographer-artists of klezmer and Romani music. He has done extensive ethnographic research in Eastern Europe. His findings were instrumental in forming the repertoire of his klezmer band, “Hot Pstromi,” based in New York and San Diego.
Elizabeth Schwartz has been called “The Edith Piaf of Yiddish” and “a revelation” with a superb mastery of klezmer ornamentations. In 2012, Schwartz was the first woman in history to sing at the 125-year-old Eldridge Street Synagogue in Manhattan, effectively breaking the ban of kol isha in this landmark cultural venue. She’s acted in and written films, and has even written several Jewish food cookbooks.
